Usage Data: We automatically collect information about your interactions with our Services, such as the pages you visit, the features you use, the links you click, your IP address, browser type, operating system, device information, access times, and referring website addresses.
Cookies and Similar Technologies: We use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to collect information about your browsing activities over time and across different websites following your use of our Services. This helps us operate our Services, improve user experience, analyze usage, and for advertising purposes. Please see our Cookie Policy [Link to Cookie Policy, if separate] or Section 10 below for more details.

(C) Information from Third Parties

Social Media Platforms: If you link your account or interact with our Services through third-party platforms (e.g., logging in via Google or Facebook, linking a social media account), we may receive information from that platform in accordance with your privacy settings on that platform.
Payment Processors: Our payment processors may provide us with limited information, such as a transaction identifier or partial card number, to confirm payments.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for various purposes, including:

To Provide and Improve the Services: To operate, maintain, administer, and improve our Services, including processing your test responses, generating reports, managing your account, processing payments, and providing customer support.
To Personalize Your Experience: To tailor content, recommendations (including from AI features), and features to your interests and preferences.
To Communicate With You: To send you transactional communications (e.g., account confirmations, billing notices), respond to your inquiries, provide information about the Services, and send marketing communications (if you opt-in).
For Research and Development: To analyze usage trends, conduct research, and develop new products, services, and features. We may anonymize or aggregate data for these purposes.

With Your Consent: For any other purpose disclosed to you at the time we collect your information or pursuant to your consent.

3. How We Share Your Information

We may share your information in the following circumstances:

Service Providers: We share information with third-party vendors and service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as payment processing, data analysis, hosting, email delivery, customer service, and marketing assistance. These providers only have access to the information necessary to perform their functions and are obligated to protect your information.
Affiliates: We may share information with our corporate affiliates (e.g., parent company, sister companies, subsidiaries) for purposes consistent with this Privacy Policy.
Business Transfers: If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be sold or transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email and/or a prominent notice on our Site of any change in ownership or uses of your personal information.
Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with legal obligations, protect and defend our rights or property, prevent fraud, protect the personal safety of users or the public, or protect against legal liability.
With Your Consent: We may share your information with third parties when we have your explicit consent to do so (e.g., if you choose to make your test report publicly visible or share it via social media).
Aggregated or Anonymized Data: We may share aggregated or anonymized information that does not directly identify you for research, marketing, analytics, or other purposes.

4. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as for tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). We will retain and use your information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Account information and test results may be retained as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period thereafter in case you decide to re-activate the Services, or as needed for our operational purposes. We may delete inactive accounts as described in our Terms of Use.

6. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location (e.g., EU/UK, California), you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. These may include the right to:

Access: Request access to the personal information we hold about you.
Correction: Request correction of inaccurate personal information we hold about you.
Deletion: Request deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions.
Restrict Processing: Request restriction of the processing of your personal information.
Data Portability: Request a copy of your personal information in a structured, machine-readable format.

EU/UK residents also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

7. Children's Privacy

Our Services are not directed to individuals under the age of 18, as stated in our Terms of Use. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 18 without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information.

8. International Data Transfers

We are based in the United States, and the information we collect is governed by U.S. law. If you are accessing the Services from outside the U.S., please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the U.S. and other countries where our servers or service providers are located. Data protection laws in these countries may differ from those in your country of residence.

For transfers of personal data from the European Economic Area (EEA), UK, or Switzerland, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, potentially supplemented by additional measures, or a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) incorporating such clauses where applicable, as mentioned in our Terms of Use.

9. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to collect information automatically, enhance your experience, analyze traffic, and personalize content and ads. Cookies are small text files stored on your device.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. However, if you block cookies, some features of our Services may not function properly.

We may use session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your device until they expire or you delete them). We use first-party cookies (set by us) and third-party cookies (set by our partners like analytics or advertising providers).

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by posting the updated policy on the Site, updating the “Last Updated” date, and/or providing other notice as required by applicable law. Your continued use of the Services after any changes signifies your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
